holiday

The card below is seriously the easiest of all the Project Life Cards I’ve made. I just added some gold glitter, a little ribbon, and done! It doesn’t get much easier than that. The cool part is that it looks so elegant — I’d be proud to send this card out.

Have I inspired you yet to make some cards out of your Project Life supplies?

Good luck with all you your holiday preparations. I know many of my friends are feeling a little stressed out right now. I hope if you are feeling overwhelmed, you take some time to relax and also find some shortcuts. I’m sending hugs and smiles.

This next card was a true hodge-podge! I started by cutting the green sentiment out and adhering it over a large white space on the red card. You would never guess, would you? The background red is also Project Life. I cut it into two pieces 1 inch thick and hid the seam with the front card. I then put a little ribbon on it, glued everything together, added some gold stars, and quick as a wink, it was done!

This project came about because a dear friend sent me this kit as a gift. Instead of making an album with it, I had the idea to make it into holiday cards. It always seems that no matter how many holiday cards I make, I never have enough. The thought of making a whole bunch QUICKLY and easily was appealing, so I gave it a try.

I love the results! I never had to even pick up a stamp and I had gorgeous, professional looking cards with only a little modification.

I love the clean and simple look of the card. The only thing I added was some sparkle and a gold star at the top. I matted the project and made it pop by using the deep red colored card base.

I am so excited to share my latest project with you. I designed a gift card holder that’s easy to make — and flat! It can even be used as an ornament. I made it flat so you can fit it in a card if you want to mail it (though you may need to make your banners a little shorter. I get carried away :))

Below is a video with instructions on how to put it together. Click HERE for a .pdf sheet showing the dimensions and supplies used.

Many of you who read this blog live far away 😦 I decided to have a special for EVERYONE, but one that would especially be geared towards my non-local friends.

My fall special is a stamp kit! If you place an order of $35 or more (before tax and shipping), you will receive a kit to make BOTH cards shown below. If you place a $70 order, you will receive two copies of each kit, etc. I also made a video so you can watch and learn how to assemble the cards.

Card #1

Card #2:

My goal in designing the cards was to make a kit that would require you to have as few supplies as possible since this is a crafting gift for you 🙂 Please see theSpecials – Fall 2014 tababove for the details on this special. I hope you enjoy it and please let me know if you have any questions.
